Reference excerpt

Mary King is a Trinidad and Tobago economist, former Senator and former Minister of Planning, Economic and Social Restructuring and Gender Affairs in the People's Partnership Government. She is also an executive member of GOPAC, the Global Organisation of Parliamentarians Against Corruption, a former head of the Trinidad and Tobago chapter of Transparency International and is chairman of Mary King & Associates Ltd., a marketing research and business consulting company. Mary King's appointment as Government Senator and Minister of Planning, Restructuring and Gender Affairs, was revoked by president Maxwell Richards on May 10, 2011, after a meeting with Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar. King was implicated in the inappropriate awarding of a $100,000 contract to a company, Ixanos, in which Mary King, and her husband, Dr St Clair King, have an interest. This is ironic, as King is involved in Transparency International. Mary King, the chairman of Mary King & Associates Ltd, established a market research firm six years ago to help businesses thrive in Trinidad and Tobago's changing culture and economy.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Mary King (economist)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Mary King (economist) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Mary King (economist) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Mary King (economist) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Mary King (economist)

In research: Mary King (economist) appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Mary King (economist) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Mary King (economist) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 21st-century Trinidad and Tobago politicians, 21st-century Trinidad and Tobago women politicians, Economist stubs, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Mary King (economist) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
